What’s a Crossover?

Chances are if you’re reading this, you already
know what a crossover is – and you know that
you need one. But if you are new to multi-way PA
systems, here's a brief overview. Loudspeakers
(which we call transducers) convert electrical
signals into sound waves. And no matter how
well a transducer is designed or made, it simply
cannot reproduce the entire audio spectrum
all by itself. Low-frequency sounds tend to
push a transducer to the maximum, making
it impossible for that same transducer to
reproduce the treble content with the sound
quality it deserves. (Try singing high falsetto
next time you’re bench-pressing your limit!)

That's why high-quality sound systems use multiple speakers (woofers and tweeters) to
spread out the work. While the woofer (usually the larger transducer) does all the heavy
lifting, the tweeter can easily handle the high-frequency content. Three and four-way
systems distribute the work even more, allowing the individual transducers to reproduce
the frequency range for which they were designed. It is the crossover’s function to divide
these tasks between the various ampli ers and transducers.

Divide and Conquer

The CX3400 provides three modes of operation:
2-way stereo, for Left and Right Lows (woofers)
and Highs (tweeters); and 3-way stereo, for
Left and Right Lows, Mids and Highs; and
4-way mono, for Lows, Low-Mids, High-Mids
and Highs. For your convenience, the CX3400’s
front panel features an elegant and easy-to­read LED matrix, so you can see at a glance
which operating mode has been selected –
and which controls are currentlyactive.

CD Horn Compensation

When a driver radiates into open space via a horn, its e ciency increases. Over the past few years,
constant-directivity horns have gained widespread popularity, since they are designed to produce
consistent dispersion over their entire frequency range – however, the higher the frequency, the
lower the e ciency. To compensate for this, the CX3400 includes a switchable pre-EQ for CD horns
that ensures a  at frequency response, even before equalization is applied. This pre-EQ raises the
signal gain by 3 dB at 3.5 kHz, which then increases by 6 dB/oct. up to 22.5 kHz.

Low Sum Output

In stereo mode, the CX3400 can be switched to “Mono Bass” mode by pressing the Low Sum button.
When this feature is activated, the LF signals in the Left and Right channels are summed together
and then routed to the Channel 1 Low Output, where it can be used to drive your active subwoofers,
passive subwoofer power ampli ers, or lighting controllers, etc. The Low Sum Output is presented in
mono, since people perceive extremely-low bass frequencies as being omnidirectional.

Extraordinary Value

The extraordinary CX3400 is the ideal choice for a wide range of applications, such as loudspeaker
systems in small clubs or large halls, improving the sound quality of your on-stage monitor systems –
or enhancing your studio monitors’ performance by adding a subwoofer. The high-precision CX3400
is the super-e ective and a ordable way to optimize the performance of your sound system – and
protect your valuable loudspeaker investment at the same time!
